Momentum's hard to find and even harder to hold onto.
Sunday afternoon in front of a standing-room-only crowd at Cintas Center, Xavier looks to keep the best bit of momentum it's had all season against No. 17 Villanova.
Two weeks ago, Xavier was in last place in the Big East Conference at 3-8 in league play.
A win Sunday would put the Musketeers at 7-8 in the conference, tied for fourth place with Seton Hall.
Villanova 10, Xavier 7, 13:21 first half – Naji Marshall just knocked down Xavier's first 3-pointer of the game but Villanova followed it with one too.
